This stunning silk pocket square has been reproduced from an original cotton handkerchief produced for the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924.

The central motif of "British Empire Exhibition, Wembley 1924" inscribed across a belt, is surmounted with flags, with the remainder printed with framed scenes from all over the British Empire, in a montage superimposed on a black ground, with a border of red, white and blue design.
